THE MAGIC AND THE TRAGIC

JOHN TSILIMPARIS, MFT

The Magic and the Tragic: Rewriting the script on Grief and Discovering Happiness in our Darkest Days, is a book that takes a different approach to grief and how we face adversity. At some point in our lives, we will all experience grief and loss issues. We cannot escape it. Because pain is such a major part of being human, this book helps us build emotional resilience by finding the aesthetic in our pain, finding the beauty in our suffering and thus in the process, not only dignifying the suffering but reducing it as well. And when we speak of grief and loss, we also mean all the encompassing pain of relationship breakups, career disappointments, financial hardships, etc.

The Magic in the Tragic, references art, music, poetry, history and philosophy to help us associate our grief with wonder and awe. It helps to defy the gravity of suffering that usually pulls us down into darkness. By “leaning in” to this process, we transform our pain into something beautiful. We bathe in the awe of it and stay curious instead of fearing it. This book teaches you how to give yourself “chills” every day.
